Customer Reviews of Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Candy and Martin at their best I saw this film in the theater when it was initally released. This is by far and away one of my favorite films. John Candy sometimes played the "fat man" roles but in this movie his weight is not important. He plays a lovable warm well meaning character that by the end of the film you wish you had friends that loyal and giving. Steve Martin is fantastic in this film as well. The only Martin film that he may have played a better character would be Roxanne (it's close though). If you know anything about John Candy, you will recognize imediately that he had an intrigal part in selecting the music that is used in the background of this film. It's the songs that he loved. This is the type of film that whenever I am channel surfing and pass by it, I immediately stop and finish watching it. If you like Candy you will love this film. Too bad that Martin and Candy never did make another film as a team. We missed some great comedy with the passing of John Candy. And by the way, "Those aren't pillows".
A delightful comedy with warmth and heart
A wonderfully subdued Steve Martin and a gently funny John Candy pair up in this delightful road movie comedy of errors. This isn't meant to be a slapstick, broad comedy, but it has elements of that. Martin and Candy are a mismatched pair of travelers on the way home to Chicago from NYC for Thanksgiving. Along the way they fall victim to every travel nightmare imaginable. Though Martin has his funny scenes, he is basically playing the straight man to Candy's Del Griffith, a shower curtain ring salesman who latches on to Martin's Neal Page, an ad exec used to FAR more luxurious travel conditions than this fateful trip will present. At its heart, however, is a story of how these two people from different social classes form an unlikely friendship, albeit a friendship that is tested over and over under frustrating circumstances that would try even the most patient traveller. Both men must learn some ugly truths about each's own character, and both must learn to be more accepting of the other's faults. Hardly a recipe for hilarity, but it works.
I've yet to meet someone who saw this movie and didn't love it. I've owned this movie on VHS for years, and watched it dozens of times, but I'm buying it on DVD anyway. And so should you.
This may rank as one of Martin's best comedy/drama performances since PARENTHOOD, and your heart will ache for Candy by the movie's end.
TOPS!!
Call me silly, but I am 44 and have been watching movies most of my life. This is my #1 favorite movie of all time. It cant compare with the great movies throughout history, but they are not my #1 favorite....this one is. How is that for a review?
